Jadakiss’ much-anticipated fourth solo album, Top 5, Dead Or Alive, has been in the works for quite some time and thanks to a conversation the rapper recently had with VIBE magazine, fans now have some idea of what to expect on the upcoming project.
The Yonkers emcee wasn’t shy about revealing the list of featured artists on Top 5, Dead Or Alive as he confirmed guest appearances from The LOX, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, and more. Despite an already solid list of features there’s also a handful of artists Jadakiss wasn’t able to secure for the project or is still working on, among them are J. Cole and A$AP Rocky.
“The L.O.X. is definitely on it,” Jadakiss revealed. “Songs that I got done? Jeezy, Wiz, Chris Brown… I got Weezy on there, too. The vintage Weezy, that mixtape killer Weezy. I got Rozay, but we may do another one. My son’s favorite artist is J. Cole, so I think I got to throw him on there. He loves A$AP Rocky, but it’ll probably be one of them.”
Although Jadakiss is in the process of wrapping up Top 5, Dead Or Alive, he also has a project with Yo Gotti in the works. He revealed that the collab with Gotti is in fact a mixtape and could possibly be released commercially.
“Me and Yo Gotti got a mixtape done. We might put it out commercially because it’s all original songs,” the rapper shared. “We probably got to do 2-3 more joints, but that’s going shake shit up. That will probably come before my album drops. There’s no title yet but we got some heat rocks.”
There’s no word yet on when Jadakiss’ Top 5, Dead Or Alive album will be released.

his son got more taste, wtf Rick Ross & weezy ?
Damn he just dissed modern weezy
al the fuck same features on every fucking album, wtf is wrong with hip hop
Why can’t I get a rap album (remember what those are) without Wayne and Ross? Seriously, these two clowns are terrible. Jada is better than that, he don’t need them fools
Noooo he’s not.
Wayne, Wiz, Chris Brown, Ross, A$AP…SMH. The features says it all. Sure to be a letdown like the rest of Jada’s albums.
And I’ll confirm that it’ll be garbage.
jada!! with another album of pop wack features just like the last kiss- hes better at mixtapes than albums. and theres a reason we call it ‘vintage weezy’ bec its prehistoric. as in over with. but he might have 1 more in him
on a side note– you know the games fucked up when his son is pickin better guest features then the man himself..smh
wow, ain’t that the truth.
damn i guess i aint buying this one. fuck a wiz, ross and weezy feature you dont need those clowns. shit is gonna flop anyways so you might as well make a decent album fuck chris brown too.
Top 5 Dead or Alive is another Jadakiss album i wont be purchasing. I wont support anything with The Fake Rick Ross or The Fake Skateboarding Blood LiL Wayne on it, PERIOD! Jada always feels his albums with the worst features. His last major label release had OJ Da Juiceman on it, need i say more.
Good idea how are you going to have album called Top 5 Dead or Alive without Wayne and Ross since they are in that top 5
lol sure. ross and wayne are top in the 5 fakest rappers of all time
ross is also in the top 5 fattest dead or alive and weezy is top 5 gayest rappers dead or alive
this^
man, how old are you niggas. you must be like 17. jesus christ
Jadakiss albums are always garbage.
Co-sign 100%
Once you put a cop on your album I have no interest in hearing or purchasing your album.
i dont get putting those wack dudes on here. their fans aint gonna buy the album anyway and hes just gonna scare off the real fans that were gonna buy it
so basically its gonna suck…
release the god damn lox album already, shit I been on these blogs hearin that its damn near finished since 2005. and no one calls them out on that like they do with dre.
east coast detox
Another mediocre album with dope lyrics
C’mon my nigga, from the way it looks this shit is gonna be like the consignment with like two or three good real NY tracks and thats it. We are the streets 2 has my full attention now but since khaled is the executive producer on that shit i don’t have high hopes.
Jada in my top 5 but I aint expecting no classic from what ive heard
wayne well past it
jeezy haven’t cared since thug 102 (trap or die 2 was dope tho)
wiz boring weed rhymes
asap rocky his main focus is on his clothes and swag
Ross good rapper but hes on everything these days
j.cole dope
And whats up with the Yo-Gotti mixtape who da fucks waiting on that? Where’s the In and Out Album with Styles P?
not surprised at all jada has always been a dickrider
same old shit from the bottom middle tier rappers. budden, fat joe, fab, jada always think wayne ross and chris brown gonna make them not suck
its not that they think those guys will make them not suck. Those guys are the ones that will get them radio spins. Radio spins which will have the label want to actually put the album out instead of shelfing it. Its a business. You gotta play the game
truth is it wont help though. he better off keeping it real for his true fans not trying to get a wayne feature and make a club song people will forget about 3 months later
nah forget that jada had hits back in the day solo..its either he dont have confidence in himself to sell it or hes just straight up to lazy to think of shit aka sellin out..either way hes fuckin up his legend w this..i swear last kiss was wack if we get anothe rbullshit singing song to cater instead of being him then his legend gonna take a blow hard. no mo.
he can make song
Kiss wanna call his album Top 5 Dead or Alive and he does not have 1 undisputed classic under his belt. This one looks like another frisbee. Such a shame.
Nigga you AINT top 5! You never made a classic. You never made one HOT record. Make an album with the LOX and concetrate on features because you aint that hot. And stop working with dirty south rappers you pussy!
Kiss of Death & The Last Kiss were classics.
Stop frontin nigga
No they were not classics. Both those albums have plenty of filler. Nowhere near flawless. I think most would agree that Jada does not have any classics. A few classic songs on each album, but that’s about it. Truth!
damn niggas call anything a classic these days. that word means nothing anymore
SMH at the guy who said last kiss is classic that album was a straight fuckin WEED PLATE! singing bullshit and wack ass features..just like this one.
but i will give you kiss of death
cmon now paps give us some decent features weezy,ross,asap fuck em pop homos
http://www.reverbnation/4evarula
J.Cole & A$AP Rocky is something I’d like to see
Top 5 Dead or Alive?? Jada is good. But he’s not top 5, 10, 15, or 50.
Just lots that lil respect I had for Jada! CheckMate!
smh top 5 and u wanna put wayne and ross
Agreed
Just cause you don’t respect two rap titans doesn’t mean they aren’t respected by those who matter.
Jada’s son needs to get some taste and demand his father work with Ja Rule.
“Radio spins which will have the label want to actually put the album out instead of shelfing it. Its a business”
Either way it’s going to sell 50,000 first week.
that would be pretty good for him. i’m sure his album wont have a quarter of the budget french montana had and he only did 50k
The Kiss I know, wouldn’t allow these features of FUCKERY back in the day, it’s SAD to see Vets turning to the BS industry goons for features just to grab some sales, but hey, they dudes gotta eat right?? I miss the days where there wasn’t so much ASS KISSING in the industry and if you were fuckin’ wack not only would you not get a look on a SUPREME artists album, but ya ass would get laid out on wax for being so weak.
i agree, it’s fuckin tragic that vets with lyrical SKILL have to resort to collaborating with cunts who butchered the genre just to stay relevant, boost sales and not be branded as haters or old. it’s disgusting.
listing off those features doesn’t make me wanna hear this album, rather it makes me want to stay as far away from it as possible.
i like jadakiss, but why lil gayne? he wack
Top 5 dead or alive:
Joe budden
2pac
Dmx
Big pun
Nas
Why would you put Joe Budden in your top? wtf
DMX would be #1 if the list was about current crackheads who rap.
Wanna make people believe in this cd jada stick with just a couple producers similar in style so the album don’t sound all over the place thats what happened to the last kiss
Fuck wayne wiz n asap try and get
nas
crooked I
Kendrick
Eminem
j cole
joe budden
Lloyd banks
scarface
Cassidy
clipse
ghostface
redman
ra rugged man
immortal technique
wont happen but its the internet so I can type shit that aint realistic
Only Nas,Kendrick and Ghostface make sense on that list…Em would only be on the album for hype and sales but him and Jada have no chemistry and Em ain’t the same MC.The rest of that list is irrelevant
crooked I-Dope lyrically but he’s underground
j cole-Audio Nyquil
joe budden-Dude couldn’t make a decent song or album at gunpoint and hasn’t made a relevant entire album ever and you want to pair him with Jada who has the same problem?
Lloyd banks-Irrelevant mixtape rapper
scarface-A legend and that would be dope if he was on a cut with Nas and Jada
Cassidy-Yikes…how in the fuck is he on here
clipse-Maybe just Pusha cause No Malice is born again and only on a remix
redman-A legend but irrelevant
ra rugged man-Seriously?You must wear a bookbag everywhere
immortal technique-Extremely underrated but if you knew you’re shit at all you know he’s an underground lyricist whose all about substance and Jada is one dimensional with the topics…
You clearly haven’t heard the Jadakiss ft Eminem track D Block..
That was FIRE Em would work as a feature!!!
Go you tube it get your knowledge up
Just saying if I seen any of them as possible features id be far more interested in this album
Its about lyrics not where they at in their careers if they underground or having made average albums in the past its up to the guy making the album to pick the right track and subject for them to make a good record
Lloyd banks – is a great mc he just gets forgot bout cause his lazy flow you don’t catch what hes saying all the time
Cassidy – is underrated ive heard him spit sum crazy verses and we all seen how he took apart meek
Id far rather see jada try do a track with technique or the ‘irrelevant’ redman than the generic shit we gon get from a ross wiz khalifa collab
When all is said and done, only Ja Rule can save Hip Hop
The only way Ja Rule can save hip hop is if he renames himself Drake.
Those features alone invalidate the album title. Can we get one good feature free album Jada?
JADA KISS IS A FUCKING SELL OUT! ALWAYS HAS BEEN SINCE HIS SHINY SUIT DAYS! FUCKING EMBARRASSMENT TO NEW YORK!
big proof – grown man shit
i copped all your mixtapes n albums even the shitty last kiss bec i figured itd be fire..with that track list your about to miss out on your whole fanbase..i aint coppin shit this time i learned my lesson from last kiss.. mediocre album shitty production and singing..and a few beast verses
i think jada just lazy to make songs by himself hits..he has the potential but by him naming off his features it just shows hes to lazy to make a hot album himself. last kiss=my official weed plate the year it dropped i was so tight i spent money on that album.. i tried to force myself to like it i just couldnt..
this guy needs to ex all the bullshit fags on the list stick to doing him and make something hot by himself with no laziness jsut to get him a billboard spot.. he can do it solo if hes motivated
“that would be pretty good for him”
Actually it would be terrible considering his last album did 135k.
The L.O.X. is definitely on it, Jadakiss revealed. Songs that I got done? Jeezy, Wiz, Chris Brown I got Weezy on there, too. The vintage Weezy, that mixtape killer Weezy. I got Rozay, but we may do another one. My sons favorite artist is J. Cole, so I think I got to throw him on there. He loves A$AP Rocky, but itll probably be one of them.
___________
this nigga needs to rename his album top 5 sellout dead or alive. -1 sale for jada
Jada, true fan speaking here…
You and Busta need to STOP dicking riding these Southern rappers!!! That shit is wack!!! FOH with that bullshit!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ_NH_Iq4Y4
Whole-heartly agree with a majority of these comments….1) Jadakiss never had a classic album, just a handful of classic songs and his rep from the LOX & how can could murder a track that carried him thru the years. 2) A top 5 DOA MC wouldn’t need incompetent raps of Lil WAyne or Rick Ross. 3) old NY vets like himself, Busta, and the others need to stop cause they are losing their true fans they made from back in the day…yes it is a shame.
wayne in 2005-08 = top 5
wayne in 2013 = not even top 30
CARTER 2 > ANY JADA ALBUM THE NIGA NEEDS HELP TO MAKE A HOT SONG EVEN
just as Jimmy said I am inspired that some one can make $7589 in a few weeks on the computer. did you see this site… v
Carter I = Wayne stepped his flow, lyrics, and delivery.
Carter 2 = Wayne was on some heavy hood/gangsta songs, perfecting his flow and lyricism.
Carter 3 = Most diverse Carter album. Had songs that gathered attention from several audiences making it the most popular.
Carter 4 = Most mainstream. Not up to par, especially for a Carter album. Only a small amount of songs were memorable such as Mirror and President Carter.
Carter 5 = ?
Hopefully the next Carter album is better.
all those albums are trash
IANAHB 1- trash. terrible. just made me feel 10% dumber
IANAHB 2- complete trash. i wouldnt even roll mids on there let alone some loud. one of the worst rap albums i ever heard in my life, seriously.
i used to go in heavy for old carter 3 and below wayne.. i cant get behind this woman cloths wearin, guy kissin on the lips junkie wayne
jada, jada, jada..(shakes head and walks away)
every one here is hating on lil wayne and that is good. hopefully jada will see this and not put that cop and that skinny jeans wearing fag on his album. get better features jada seriously!
like jadakiss said first come the respect and then the cash. thats why he has al those wack rappers on his album he wants the cash now. fuck lil wayne!
i hope lil wayne and rick ross die !!!!!
Jadakiss you debuted on Mikey D LP…all your SOLO joints was trashed out with commercial fuckboy songs. YOU AINT GANGSTA you got that SNITCH with the stolen name on your shit…like Homeboy said you and Busta dickride SOUTH…New York sucks dick…BECAUSE OF YOU and others…DO THAT FUCKING ALBUM WITH ALL ALCHEMIST BEATS…it s been years and you still plan to come out with another fuckboy album?
Top 5 means have a lot of features on your album? Lol.
I hear a lot of haters, let Jada do wtf he wants to do. Personally i wouldnt want to hear weezy, jeezy and such like but they add a little flavour i guess, certainly won’t destroy an album, Last Kiss was ill, maybe 4 of the songs wernt to my liking but your never gonna get the prefect blend on an LP or rarely will these. Ideally the features i would want are, Fab, Nas, Asap, Kendrick, Juelz Santana, Jigga and of course the Lox
